Youthful moments of decay
Living in a body that betrayes
Forces awareness of mortality
At an early age
Long as I have quality of life
Then living has immense value
And I eagerly choose to be alive
But there was no idylic healthy youth
To make me yearn for forever
Long as I’m trapped in this body
Immortality is not my fantasy.
